Isabelle Skye (full band) "Kaleidoscope" single launch w/Butternut Sweetheart + CCTV (solo)

Step into a dreamlike soundscape on Thursday, November 14th at The Retreat Hotel, as Isabelle Skye (full band) celebrates the release of her shimmering new single "Kaleidoscope".

Blending the warmth of retro pop with the intimacy of modern indie, Isabelle draws inspiration from the likes of Clairo, Tennis, and Margo Guryan. Kaleidoscope captures the dizzying rush of falling for someone whose words don’t quite match their actions — a bittersweet anthem for those caught between promise and uncertainty. With lush melodies, hypnotic grooves, and heartfelt lyricism, Isabelle and her full band bring the track to life on stage in technicolour.
